(9,212 posts)For some reason, I cant remember the other authors I used to read, but I am going to look up Rosenfelt, if it has cats and dogs in it Im sure Ill like it. 😹 The last one I read by Jeffrey Deaver was very grim though
I think it was scaring me too much. More recently when we had a power failure I read a book I had purchased on kindle or maybe it was free I had never read. It was OK. I cant remember the name of it. It was sort of a mystery
not written by anybody well known and the writing style was tedious but I still wanted to know what happened. 19 in a week is amazing!
I just bought a book for a friend of my father that we visited. She fell and had a brain injury and shes now in assisted living. She said she likes to read mysteries so I bought her a novel for next time we visit by Ryley Sager, The House Across the Lake
it looks like a mystery maybe
and some of my fathers books one by Bartholomew Gill and a novel by Martin Cruz Smith
Im going to give her those too.
Unfortunately, I was not able to visit her again because I had a lot of health emergency stuff going on, but hopefully soon
I think she has been moved to a different place now
I have to call and see. She seemed to be doing a lot better than our friend described. She remembered a lot of things and talked in detail about a lot with us, but they said she had short-term memory damage, she did not seem to be that bad at all to me from what I expected.
I also bought The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman on clearance a few years ago on audio/ DVD and never listened to it yet, hopefully soon. 😀
